Yes. The GUI can be any number of software packages including custom wrote VB- visual basic.

Yeps, and more specifically:
-Hardware (sensors) connected to expandable I/O modules connected to (usually) the same rack as the PLC via a backplane.
-PC running RSView32 (or any other HMI) or RSLogix5 connects to the PLC via an piece of software called an OPC Server (RSLinx, KepServer, etc).
